Oasis. I quite like them, well the first two albums anyway. But they aren't original and have nicked a lot of stuff from other bands and yet a lot of people think they are the best band of all time.
U2 have been dull since 1985. Definition of overrated. And while I don't dislike the Beatles, the acclamation they get is way above the music they made.They caught the wave and rode it, but their music wasn't so original and different to take them to the levels of adoration they have today.

I think Achtung Baby was their best album, everything since garbage
Probably not a name you're familiar with, but his "atmospheric" piano music is likely the sort of thing you've heard on all sorts of adverts, or in the background during a TV episode/film where there's some sort of conflict and character development or some rubbish like that.
His stuff is all somewhat pleasant, but hangs around about three chord progressions (VI-bVII-I; or I-V-VI-III; or so on so forth), and it's all incredibly repetitive. He has made a career out of the musical equivalent of an amateur Instagram sunset photo, or email condolence, and it's all... the same.
Yet people are mesmerised and I do not understand why.
People seem to think overrated and disliked are mutually exclusive. There are plenty of acts I’m a fan of but still think are overrated, because they get more attention than they deserve.

Agree on the U2 side of things. Apart from a couple of half decent tracks they are pony.

I put Oasis down as overrated - but I still listen to their music very often (especially the first two albums).
Oasis. 1 decent album (Definitely Maybe), 1 ok album (WTSMG), the rest was absolute, utter cack. Outshone at Knebworth by The Prodigy, OCS and the Manics. The Killers. ABBA. Ed f'ing Sheeran.

The Beatles largely created the wave when you consider their progression and output within 8 years, and how much they influenced music

When I personally think of the other people around at the time, I do think The Beatles were overrated, although I don't mind most of their music
Plus Bono is a twat.

So I agree with you 100%.
The Killers.
ABBA.
Ed f'ing Sheeran.
Or FaceBook is an overrated messaging system!
I would go as far as saying that Windows are an overrated way of allowing light into buildings!
The Beatles could not possibly be overrated - the most influential band of all time.
